TRANSFER-BINDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part ofLetters Patent N 0. 726,093, dated April 21, 1903.

Application filed October 10, 1902- Serial No. 126,653. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern/.2

Be it known that I, SAMUEL A. NEIDICH, a citizen ofv the United States,'residing"in the city and county of Philadelphia,'State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Transfer-Binders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of an improvement in temporary binders'for use in securing to-.

gether a plurality of .loose sheets, which can be quickly and expeditiously secnred in'said' binder.

It further consists of novel details of construction, all as will be hereinafter setforth.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a portion of a temporary binder embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a sectional view on line 00 at, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents a plan View of a portion of the binder embodying my invention.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre-' sponding parts in the figures.

Referring tothe'drawi'ngs,

terial and to which are secured the rods E, which project upwardly therefrom and each of which may be provided with a threaded opening F to receive the threaded end G on a similar rod H, the latter rods being also provided with suitable threaded openings, whereby other rods can be secured thereto, or the knob J may be secured therein.

K designates a plate-having cut-away or countersunk portionsL-in the upper face, in each of which is seated a disk M, said plate K having openings N,through which isadapted to pass the rods E, each of said "disks M A designates a temporary binder having the two covers B. and C,the lower one of,which is securedjo a; plate D, which is formed of any suitable ma The leavesor other devices tobe held in the binder are provided with suitable openings or slots and are placed upon the rods E, said leaves being shown at S. When the leaves are in position and itis desiredto lock th same, by proper manipulation of the disks-M, which can be accomplished by graspingthe pins P, the said disks Moan be turned, and as the same .arefont of center with respect to the rods E "they will by reason of the same form a cam or lever forcansing the disks to bite the rods E 'in any position in which the plates K and R are held. When it is desired to insert more leaves, the pins P are operated in the opposite direction, so that the disks M are loose with respect to the pins E and the plates K and R, and with them the, cover B can be raised to the desired position, after which the pins are operated in the opposite direction in order to cause the disks M to bite on the rods E, and thus hold the parts in the desired position.

,may bema'de "by those skillediin' the art which'maycomeiwithin the scopegofgmyin ventionfand' 1.6.0 not, therefore, desire to'be limited in every instance to the exact construction herein described.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim; as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- n 1. In a temporary binder, a plate having an "opening'therethrough, a rod'passing through said opening, and asingle movable member carried by said plate havingan eccentric opening through which said rodpasses, adapt ed to bind said plate and rod. n? e o er b e e a plate h r nsa opening therethrough, a rotatable disk approximately concentric with said opening and having an eccentric opening, and arod passing through said openings. I

3. In a temporary binder, a'platexhaying n opening therethrough, a rod passing through said opening, and a rotatable disk carried by the plate and having an eccentric opening through which said rod passes, said disk being adapted to bite said rod, and forming the sole medium for binding the plate and rod.

'4. In a temporary binder, a plate having Itiwill be apparent that Qantas. changes openings therein, rods passing through said ed to pass, cut-away portions in said plates, disks situated in said cut-away portions and having eccentric openings through which the rods are adapted to pass, said disks being movable on said plate to cause the walls of 20 the disk-openingsvto bite the rods, a strip secured to said plate and having curved slots therein and pins secured to said disks and projecting through said curved slots for operating said disks.
